Minimum Tempo

Focusing primarily on anime, games, and manga with a bit of politics, food, culture, music, film, and technology. There's a mix of lighthearted and serious posts, but don't expect many episode summaries; the author is too lazy for that.

Valentine’s Day is mostly useless; all it does it promote and increase business of chocolate companies (slave trade chocolate FTL), card companies, and any other corporation that sells Valentine’s Day-related goods. That being said, I suppose it’s a good economic boost but overall...

I don’t have to say anything but I will because there are a few comments I’d like to make regarding Strawberry Panic. First of all, it did a great job of keeping me interested with hawt girls all around and the possibility of yuri between seemingly ALL of them. Kimino Sakurako and Madhouse...

Ah, it’s nice to have a free day to do nothing. Although it’s not a national holiday, my school district has today off to celebrate Washington’s birthday or something. About the blog, I’m pretty much done transferring the old posts over; not all posts were moved here because...

Welcome to version 3.0 of my blog. loli-pop blog is now Minimum Tempo. Same subject matter, but a different URL, a different theme, and a different title. I’m still searching for the right theme, so bear with me as I try out different themes for the blog at the moment. This URL is final, so please...

Ah, Furi Kuri. What could be better than this?11 Every time I rewatch FLCL, I notice that it makes me feel a lot better. Whenever something goes wrong, FLCL seems to push those problems away and make me feel all warm inside, which seems kind of weird. The only thing I can place my finger on is the soundtrack,...

Currently, Shakugan no Shana II is airing and people are going crazy over its return to action, something I wouldn’t know about since I haven’t even watched the first season. Well, I’ve started watching it and I have to say this is another one of those anime in which the lead male...

Lots of spoilers, lulz. Warning I guess. You deserve it. I was ready to praise Fate/stay night in all of its glory because it actually managed to keep me interested, something I thought anime would never do since I dropped Shuffle! for being an enormous piece of shit. For the most, Fate/stay night is...

LOL nice hiatus of a few hours. Anyway, I was on YouTube watching live Hirano Aya performances and I stumbled on a Goto Yuko performance of “Koi no Mikuru Densetsu” and hoped to be pleasantly surprised by her singing. Unfortunately, I was horrified by her performance. I mean seriously, WTF...

The anime blogosphere is full of similar blogs that cover the same topics as another, and very few specialize and bring something completely unique to the table. Of course, similar blogs are not a bad thing: they provide a different viewpoint and sometimes reveal details we may have missed or introduce...

My lack of anime knowledge led me to place many anime on my “plan-to-watch” list, one of them being Fate/stay night. I was initially interested in Rin Tohsaka (allegedly a tsundere, which apparently is only in the visual novel), and she continues to be the main reason I watch it. Now halfway...
